You should've tested the FDUCE SL40 with XLR instead of USB C. The USB-C is muddy compared to using the XLR input on it. The SL40X can be found for even 25USD but only has an XLR input.

Ah we'll have to try it! We were doing USB mics specifically in this one.

ANOTHER great video, Stephen! I just wanted to comment on the mics, from an outside perspective: IMHO, the Fifine was far more well-balanced, with absolutely no tweaks, than the FDUCE SL40. I found the latter to have too much mid to low low frequency and not nearly enough of the high frequency. Maybe part of that was due to the windscreen? Either way, out of the box, having listened to so many of your videos, the Fifine deserves a ton more credit and I'd go as far as to even recommend it to my fellow hosts if they were in the market for an upgrade~

I think a lot of this comes down to taste, it’s so subjective. I think Stephen prefers a lot of bass in his audio, whereas I prefer less. So for me, the Fifine sounded like the best of the bunch. I didn’t at all like how the FDUCE SL 40 sounded due to its much more pronounced bass sensitivity.

@davidcameo Жыл бұрын

@@maxillariadendrobulum4079 I totally agree on subjectivity! Some of my hosts sound far better with MORE mid-frequency and less mid-to-low frequency! I guess I was merely basing my observations on the sound Stephen typically goes for in his videos in terms of his own voice. I'm kind of an audiophile so I love listening to out-of-the-box microphone tests, too, so this was a real treat

@Riversidefm 11 ай бұрын

Great points. After listening to the video several times the FDUCE was more bassy on more speakers then I realized. Would take a lot of EQ to roll that off. For a budget mic, the ATR 2100X is still one of my favorites.

@MacMouth Жыл бұрын

Just remember that bottom end, the muddy sound on the FDuce is hard to get rid of. Also, clarity is key on podcast so everything can be heard. Good way to do comparisons though

@Riversidefm 11 ай бұрын

Thanks! Definitely would need to EQ the FDUCE for clarity, but my fav is still the ATR 2100X?

@urbnctrl 8 ай бұрын

FDuce has XLR which is much less muddy, but I would not recommend USB recording anyway if sound quality is your goal.

I work with Shure SM7Bs alot and they are in a league of their own, but I am not gonna lie, bought 2 of these FDuce microphones next to an MV7, I notice that the FDuce mics have become the daily user lmao the sound is nice and deep, and it gives great bang for the buck for streaming. I would not go more expensive for just streaming purposes.. it sounds very good for the money and comes really close to the MV7.

It's true! You can find great quality and budget prices.

@kirisuma2186 Ай бұрын

Yeah the Fduce is great, especially if you use it with XLR. It actually replaces my fifine k688, as that one disappointed me with the very low gain. It sucked that I had to boost it in post. Made it hard to use for streaming. (well it was possible but didn't like that I had to use lots of filters in obs)

Super helpful! Thanks! Only question.. Your audio was the best when not using a mic at all. What were you using to record when not using a mic?

Fduce - a bit too bassy Maono - lacks bass AM8 - was a combination of 2, has bass but not that much as Fduce, but maybe not as much clarity as Maono But from all the mics you shown you like, all of them were mostly without that exagerate bass, quite balanced, so is quite surprising you say Fduce is better than the others, so I guess it's just a matter of preference.

@Riversidefm Ай бұрын

Audio is really subjective, but for a budget mic I still recommend the Audio-Technia ATR2100X most of the time!

Hi !Does the fduce come with a USB-C cable To Connect it To an iPad or iPhone? What aplicattion do you recommend for audio editing ? Thank you

@Riversidefm 4 ай бұрын

Yes it comes with a cable, and if you're editing the audio specifically on iPad, highly recommend Ferrite: apps.apple.com/us/app/ferrite-recording-studio/id1018780185

@ riversidefm Everyone praises the sound of fduce, me personally think its to beefy and bass heavy....maybe i dont know much about sounds

@Riversidefm 11 ай бұрын

you're right, it's a little bass heavy. But you can EQ that to get a clearer sound. In this video, there was no EQ on any mic to show it's natural tendencies.

Hello friend, thanks for the elaborate video! I currently have the Audio-Technica ATR2100x and I have a question, which model has more volume in USB mode, Samson ATR 2100x or FDUCE SL40? I understand that the volume of the FDUCE SL40 is low in USB mode, I need it to do live shows through streaming and I need it to be heard loud and clear. A greeting and thanks in advance!! 🤟

@Riversidefm 9 ай бұрын

I would recommend sticking with the ATR 2100X! Has tons of volume for that kind of use case.

I’ll add, because I didn’t specify WHY it sounds better to me in my previous comment, that its bass is much less pronounced. To me the atr2100x sounds balanced and more neutral which is my preference, but for some reason so many podcasters are all about that bass.

@Riversidefm 11 ай бұрын

After listening back to this video several times, the FDUCE is def bassy. That can be EQ’d out some (I left all these flat for a reasonable comparison). But I really do like the ATR 2100X as a starter to intermediate mic.

@@Riversidefm thanks for the reply. I love the look of the FDUCE and the funny name has grown on me, but the atr2100x sounds much more true and neutral. I'd rather eq from a neutral sound i think.
